Some bluetards on the Halo 2 forum are telling me that Halo was originally a Rockstar game to be released on PS2.

The extent to which I believe that statement to be absolute bullblam is unimaginable. Please tell me I'm not wrong here? Halo was meant to be a Myth-style PC/Mac game just like Oni and most (if not all) of Bungie's previous games (in terms of format I mean)...

Wasn't it?

If you actually listen to the idiots who go there, that makes you almost as bad as them. They are stupid, just ignore them.

Heyyo,

HAHA! ahh, those funny little console gamers... too bad they can't look at a calendar and see that it's not April Fools, yet alone April...

Dude, think of this: GTA, was created for the PC. Rockstar then decided to bring it to the PS2 console (GTAIII) just like Halo, but different console, different game. Then the game made it to PC. Then same thing with GTA: Vice City... now GTA: San Andreas is the same deal.... dejavue repeated to death? yep!

I only have a few words to say:

AC DC - Money Talks ;)

Yeah, the consolers and their nice little fantasies....

Halo was originally for PC by bungie... Microsoft comes along.. Big wad of cash in hand.... Bungie for XBox.... Then handed over to Gearbox for porting to PC... Big wad of Cash for GearBox.... Happy Chappies all round!

Weel I am. Happy that is. I play it on PC and love it with all my heart and soul. Only my Girlfriend, Collegg and my dog gets more of my time!!

Believe it or not Skippy, they are right. There was supposed to be 2 version of Halo. One was like Oni or something on the PS2 and the Myth-style RTS on the PC. Gamespy still has their Halo PS2 page on unfortunately, nothing is noted there. Here is the link

Hmm. They're not exactly right in saying that the Halo we know was always going to be a Ps2 game though. That's my point. And to use that ancient page against me was retarded.

Heyyo,

Nope, Halo was originally for Macintosh dude. If you scavenge these forums you can find sweet links provided by ekul that show you how halo was 1st meant to be n' such.

Think aboot it: Bungie was a Macintosh gaming company, only makes sense they make Mac games...

Well ThE_MarD, the only thing we know that Halo has any trace to PS2 was that link to Gamespy. However Bungie would have made it on the Mac and PC way before it even touches any console system since they have to downsize the game to whatever that console's rendering is. Ever saw Doom 3 on Xbox? Yuck, talk about poor IDSoftware having to downsize the game to terrible just to fit it on the Xbox.

why do all of these threads need to hate on the Xbox? I'm a console and PC gamer and when it comes down to it if a game captures my attention I'll play it regardless of whether its PC or a console game.

Plus that Halo ps2 page totally blew my mind... that would have really sucked

there'sa couple resons for why Halo 2 can't be for the PS2:

1. It doesn't have the same software as a computer does unlike the Xbox.

2. There's too many buttons needed for Halo 2 that it can't configurate for the controller of the PS2.

3. Over there...they're just making up rumors that aren't even true.

Heyyo,

Well, we don't flame consoles in general, just people who still think xbox is stronger than a PC. :p

I myself like playing on consoles, but at least I'm not a tard aboot it. I used to always play super smash bros with me buds all the time, lol. That n' any sports games we could get our hands on for N64. I love a good sports game onna console, so do most of me buds. Of course I'd be nice if they have awesome multiplayer like on this one mod for Half Life... it's like, International Soccer Online. It's crazy, each player is his own soccer player, so if you get up to like, onna full server? intense. :)

I'm no big soccer-buff, but I do love my sports games. =D
